Mental Canvas

Founded 2016

Create three-dimensional freehand drawings and animated scene walkthroughs with digital pen strokes

You can use Mental Canvas to create drawings that exist across three-dimensional space rather than remaining flat on a single page. It lets you sketch with familiar pen and pencil strokes while projecting your artwork onto multiple spatial planes. You can navigate around your drawings from different angles, set up smooth camera paths, and create animated fly-throughs of your artwork. This allows concept artists, architects, and visual storytellers to communicate spatial ideas, build interactive digital comics, and share dimensional presentations without needing complex modeling skills.
